In the spring of 2025, a renewed surface reconnaissance was conducted in the eastern borderlands of Podhale and the Polish part of the Spiš region. The changing landscape, marked by increased vegetation and the transformation of arable fields into meadows, posed challenges for identifying previously known sites. Despite these difficulties, several new Stone Age sites were discovered, including artefacts made of radiolarite and Jurassic flint. The finds, located in areas such as Cisowa Rock, Nowa Biała, and Dursztyn, provide insights into prehistoric settlement patterns and raw material usage. The study highlights the importance of regular field surveys in cultivated areas and outlines future directions for archaeological research in the region
